Laws of Chemical Combination and Balancing Chemical Equation.pptxAdikpe2
The verification of each of the following chemical laws was well established with examples to simplify it.
THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
This Law was established by Lavoisier, a French Chemist. This law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. This means that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of all reacting substances (i.e. the reactants) is equal to the total mass of the products.
THE LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTIONS OR CONSTANT COMPOSITION
This Law was proposed by Proust (1755-1826). The Law of Definite Proportions states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain similar elements combined in the same proportion by mass.
THE LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS
The law of Multiple Proportions states that if two elements, A and B, combine to form more than one chemical compound, the various masses of one element, A which combine separately with a fixed mass of the other element, B, are in simple multiple ratios.
BALANCING CHEMICAL EQUATION WITH CALCULATION
A chemical equation is a shorthand expression for a chemical change or reaction. It shows among other things the arrangement of atoms that are involved in the reaction.
When balancing an equation, you must remember the following:
Know the reacting substances and the products formed.
Know the chemical formulae for all the substances.
Write, in front of the formulae, coefficients that will balance the equation.
Common gases, such as oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine and nitrogen, in the free state, are diatomic, e.g. O2, H2, Cl2 and N2
Other elements in the free state, such as sodium, potassium, copper and iron, are represented by their atomic symbols, e.g. Na, K, Cu and Fe.
Organic chemistry involves the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds, which include not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements, including hydrogen (most compounds contain at least one carbon–hydrogen bond), nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur.
This branch of chemistry was originally limited to compounds produced by living organisms but has been broadened to include human-made substances such as plastics. The range of application of organic compounds is enormous and also includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food, explosives, paints, and cosmetics.
Like Membrane, this is one of the shorter topics with less content to go through. More or less an extension of the mamal transport system, the gas exchange system should still be seen as an individual self-serving/ self-functioning system worthy of its own spotlight.

I split the presentation for the unit into two, as I added so many slides to help with student questions and misconceptions. This one focuses on mathematical aspects of the unit.
For a sustainable future it is essential to close the global carbon cycle. Oxidised forms of carbon, in
particular CO2, can be used to synthesise energy-rich organic molecules. Engineered cyanobacteria have
attracted attention as catalysts for the direct conversion of CO2 into reduced fuel compounds.1-Butanol is a
promising gasoline replacement compared to the more commonly used ethanol due to several advantages.
Specifically, 1-butanol is less corrosive and has a higher energy density than ethanol. In this study,
Synechococcus elongatus was isolated from the sea sediment in Konak and the effects of CO2 isolated from the
same region on the production of 1-butanol was investigated. Addition of plasmid slightly increased the CO2
utilisation rates. The effects of environmental factors (NO3-N, SO4-S, NaCl, H2, O2) on the ratio of 1-butanol
production to CO2 removal were investigated. Under optimized conditions S.elongatus metabolized theCO2
according to Monod kinetic(Ks = 1.5 mg L-1
and µ = 0.21 day-1
). Under highNO3-N, SO4-S, NaCl, and O2
concentrations 1-butanol produced with un-competitive inhibition with a high Ki value of 2.3 mg L-1 indicating
the low inhibition in S.elongatus with plasmid. The competitive inhibition constant (Ki) is low (0.70 mg L-1
)
exhibiting the high competitive inhibition at high concentration for the operational conditions given above

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
1. GAS EXCHANGE IN PLANTS
2.39 understand gas exchange (of carbon dioxide and oxygen) in relation to respiration and photosynthesis
CO2 and O2 diffuse in and out of leaves through stomata.
CO2 is used in photosynthesis and produced
by respiration, whereas O2 is used in
respiration and produced in photosynthesis!
2. Photosynthesis & Respiration
2.39 understand gas exchange (of carbon dioxide and oxygen) in relation to respiration and photosynthesis
Both processes run all the time. So the net amount of
glucose the plant produces (i.e. the amount it gets to
use for growth etc) is governed by the formula;
Net Glucose = Total production – Amount used in respiration
The Compensation Point is defined as;
0 = Total production – Amount used in respiration
Or
Photosynthesis = Respiration
3. Light Intensity & Gas Exchange
2.40 understand that respiration continues during the day and night, but that the net exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen
depends on the intensity of light (TA)
The amount of glucose the plant uses in respiration in
nearly constant.
However, glucose production by photosynthesis is not.
It is dependent on the rate-limiting factors (i.e. light
intensity, CO2 level, water availability, temperature etc).
At night photosynthesis is virtually zero.
(Net Carbon Dioxide production)
In the day the photosynthesis is large.
(Net Oxygen production)

5. Leaf Structure and Photosynthesis
2.41 explain how the structure of the leaf is adapted for gas exchange
6. Stomata and Gas Exchange
2.42 describe the role of stomata in gas exchange
In sunlight the guard cell becomes turgid
Turgid guard cells open the stoma
Increases gas exchange
Low light causes guard cells to become flaccid
Flaccid guard cells close the stoma
Decreases water loss

Potometer
1) You must cut the shoots under water and you must
assemble the potometer under water. If air gets into the
xylem vessels of the plant, it can form air locks which will
prevent the plant taking up water and so prevent steady
transpiration.
1) Check all seals are airtight – coat seals with Vaseline jelly
3) The potometers should be left for the leaves to dry.
Alternatively dry the leaves gently with a paper towel. The
potometer will not work properly until any excess water
on the leaves has evaporated or been removed.
2) Adding food colouring to the water makes it easier to see
the air bubble in the capillary tube.
9. Stomata and Gas Exchange
2.42 describe the role of stomata in gas exchange
10. Experiment to Know
2.43 describe experiments to investigate the effect of light on net gas exchange from a leaf, using hydrogen-carbonate indicator (TA)
An experiment which will show the effect of light intensity on the
rate of gas exchange.
- Seal two leaves (still attached to the plant) in separate plastic
bags with some bicarbonate indicator solution.
- One of the bags is black and the other is translucent.
- The leaf in the black bag produces CO2 via respiration and the
colour of the bicarbonate indicator changes quickly to yellow.
- The leaf in the translucent bag produces O2 via photosynthesis
and the bicarbonate indicator solution changes to red slowly.
Bicarbonate Indicator colours:
Red in the absence of CO2
Yellow in the presence of CO2
